Unofficial Slimming World Broccoli and Stilton Soup Recipe
This delicious Unofficial Slimming World Broccoli and stilton soup can be made in the soup maker, pan or slow cooker. It's also beautiful with syn free airfried wholemeal croutons.
Firstly sauté the onions on low until soft in a pan that you can pop a lid on for stage 2.
Now add all of the veg, spices and seasoning, some more fry light and pop the lid on - continue cooking for 10 minutes, shaking occasionally.
Now add all of the ingredients (except the cheese triangles) and simmer until everything is cook, or add all to the soup maker and set on smooth.
Once everything is tender, add the triangles in and blend. Note, if you want to try and save on syns, halve the cheese quantity and blend and taste as you go along - you may find you don't need the extra syns.
Serve alone or with fresh herbs.To make croutons, I just use a 60g wholemeal roll as part of my allowance and dice before spraying with frylight and toasting in my airfryer for about 5 minutes.

Notes
Stir in the best cheese you can for the ultimate taste, such as from Christmas cheeseboard leftovers!
Use every part of the broccoli, including the stalks, to avoid waste and add more flavour and fibre
Shred all of the broccoli and vegetables in a food processor before sauteing so that is cooks faster and creates a smoother texture
Use low-calorie cooking spray instead of butter or oil to sauté the onion and garlic and save some calories
Use low salt or homemade vegetable stock to reduce the sodium content of the soup
Serve the soup with some crusty bread or croutons for some crunch and extra carbs if desired
Avoid melting the cheese for far too long in the soup as some can stick to the pan and harden, making it difficult to clean later (I've done this WAY too many times!)
